Providing a diverse genre selection

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

I am up for a more diverse genre selection, other fiction is just ... bland.

Yes, but Scott determines this actually. For the book to be more descriptive and informative we have the tag system.

One of the guidelines requirements is to indicate who would or would not find the book appealing. The editor HAS to mark you off for not following a guideline. For something like that, you could say something along the lines that those who enjoy erotica with an interesting storyline might find the book appealing. Or you could go with the "wouldn't find it appealing" and indicate that those who don't enjoy erotica would not find the book enjoyable.
That’s true. Thank you for that. At tje time of writing my review I believe I was still in just dealing with processing and probably wasn’t writing under the best conditions. I let that 36% get to me I’m not gonna lie. I haven’t reviewed anything since then but I’m going to jump back in and keep at it.

If it was twisted threads, then yes, I have reviewed that book and ya I agree with you on the sex part some of them were meaning less.
I think for now, I might start looking at other reviews ahead of time. I didn’t want to originally, wanting to go in with a fresh mind and all, but if I’m choosing romance then I’d like to know. Or I may stay away from the romance genre altogether in order to save myself the trouble.
